- What formal elements did I use in my data representation?
- line - to show the vertical and horizontal segments of the grid of the graph
- rectangular - to show the data representation
- short segments - to show the unit of days (unit for time - 30 min, unit for day)
- color - used 10 different color to differentiate the categories of subjects
I choose these color according to the standard used by the Seattle Public Library website). Each color has 80 level of alpha. In fact, since some books were borrowed in the same time and day, I represented them using a darker color there where more books were checked out. So the richness and transparency of a color will be changed depending on the number of book that were checked out in the same time and day. - buttons - to give the choice of what data to represent
